Happy Friday 11/22/24

Happy Friday! Well we survived our first snow storm and a whole week of early-release at school so that’s something. Ha! Of course the snow means that we won’t be finishing the Poplar Cottage siding this year (we are sooooooo close 😭) but so it goes. On the up side, now I have more time to focus in on holiday baking ;) Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Some links from the week…

The entry of my dreams (shown above)

The case against deli meat. What do you guys use as alternatives? Peanut butter and jelly is a go-to at our house!

Our holiday gift guides are out! Find them all here. There’s one for the ladies, men, kids and teens, polished home, and the handy homeowner. We put lots of our favorites from the year on these lists and we hope you find them useful!

The incredible home of designer John Stefanidis on the Greek island of Patmos. I’d live here in a heartbeat.

The new year is creeping up on us, isn’t it?! Here are the best places to travel to in 2025.

If you want to be interesting, be interested! Love these 47 conversation starters for Thanksgiving (or any time).

How cool is this historic library up for auction? Could you imagine making it your home?! (Please invite me over when you do!)

Garrett’s birthday is coming up and I want to make him this cake. Yummmm!

Bit of a departure from my usual read, but I listened to this financial book this week. It’s a classic and full of time-honored wisdom and worth a read!

Here’s a fun fact for ya courtesy of my kids: a flock of ravens is called an unkindness. Who knew?!

Have a good one!
